Just been delivered today. They look great, has anyone fitted these yet?

I'm gonna try and fit them tomorrow but i need a female to female connecter to go on between the end of the brake line and the caliper, does anyone know where to get one from?

Also it states that dot 3 brake fluid should be used. I'm using dot 4 at the minute. Should i change to dot 3 or use dot 4?

the differnce between dot 3 and 4 is the boiling point,3 and 4 are ok for road use but for track use you need 5 and up.

Well after spending all day on it trying to get it to fit, it doesn't! Well it's only just rubbing on the wheels.

I'm gonna need some spacers.

So today i'm gonna have to put the old brakes back on :x
